Shrimp Marinade

Method

Marinating the Shrimp

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

2

Marinate the Shrimp

Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 1 hour.

Grilling the Shrimp

3

Prepare the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, ensure they have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

4

Skewer the Shrimp

Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers. Ensure they are evenly spaced and not overcrowded.

5

Grill the Shrimp

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.

6

Remove from Grill

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
